The true strength of Patriarch Bodhi is stronger than people think.
In the second chapter of the original work, after Sun Wukong studied the theoretical knowledge of cultivating immortals for seven years in Fangcun Mountain, the Bodhi Patriarch decided to teach him the spell and asked: "Taoism has three hundred and sixty gates, and each of them can achieve positive results, I don't know which one you want to learn?"
Bodhi Patriarch asked Sun Wukong to choose spells from the three hundred and sixty gates to learn, it can be seen that he is likely to be proficient in the three hundred and sixty spells, after all, if he can't be proficient in all the spells of the three hundred and sixty gates, he will never let Sun Wukong choose like this, in case Sun Wukong chooses him, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
These three hundred and sixty spells are not three hundred and sixty spells, each of them is equivalent to a school of spells, including a variety of spells, an immortal cultivator, as long as he is proficient in any of them, it is enough to open a sect, what about the Bodhi Patriarch who is proficient in all the spells of the three hundred and sixty sects?
We know that Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace and defeated 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. These 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals have a strong lineup, bringing together Li Jing, the king of Tota, the four heavenly kings, Nezha, the twenty-eight stars, the nine Yao Xingjun, the twelve Yuanchen and other heavenly court masters, Sun Wukong can defeat such a strong lineup of 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and its strength has obviously reached the realm of great gods.
However, such a powerful Monkey King, in front of the Bodhi Patriarch, is like a powerless little hairy monkey, and the Bodhi Patriarch can handle it as he wants. When he drove Sun Wukong down the mountain, he warned him like this that after the trouble, he was not allowed to reveal his master's name, otherwise he would not be able to turn over. It can be seen that it is not an exaggeration to describe the strength of Patriarch Bodhi as unfathomable.
Although Patriarch Bodhi is powerful, he does not work for any power group. He lived in seclusion in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, divided one side, and did not obey anyone's orders, even the Jade Emperor, who was the lord of the Three Realms, could not send him.
As the lord of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor nominally all the regions of the Three Realms are under his rule, including the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain of the Bodhi Patriarch, so he naturally does not want the Bodhi Patriarch to be separated here and independent of his rule.
Speaking of which, everyone must be very curious, if Heavenly Court sends troops to attack Fangcun Mountain in order to conquer the Bodhi Patriarch, which side will win?
Some people believe that although the Bodhi Patriarch is strong, but after all, the Heavenly Court is full of people, and the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are just one of the military forces, and the Jade Emperor can also send many gods with boundless mana, such as the Zhenwu Emperor, Taiyi Rescue Tianzun, etc., if they besiege Fangcun Mountain together, the Bodhi Patriarch may not escape defeat.
But in fact, although there are many people in the heavenly court, Patriarch Bodhi is not alone. When Patriarch Bodhi accepted Sun Wukong as a disciple, he once said to Sun Wukong that there were twelve words under his disciples, and Sun Wukong ranked the tenth word in terms of generations, so it can be seen that he has accepted ten generations of disciples.
The number of disciples of these ten generations is quite a lot, according to the estimation that there are thirty or forty senior brothers of the same generation as Sun Wukong, there may be as many as three or four hundred disciples of the ten generations. Of these three or four hundred people, is there only one master of Sun Wukong? Obviously unlikely, some disciples may be stronger than Sun Wukong, and it is precisely because of this that after Sun Wukong learned to somersault the cloud, he was ridiculed by the senior brothers for being able to send documents and deliver newspapers.
If the Heavenly Court sends troops to attack Fangcun Mountain, the main force is nothing more than two parts, one is the Taoist god, and the other is the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals and other generals, and the Fangcun Mountain can naturally be divided into two ways to meet the battle, with the Bodhi Patriarch personally dealing with the Taoist gods, and the ten generations of disciples dealing with the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals and other generals.
If there is no Sanqing among the Taoist gods, and as mentioned before, all the spells of the three hundred and sixty sects of the Bodhi Patriarch Jingdao have reached the supreme realm of cultivation, and they can completely defeat the Taoist gods under the Sanqing.
As for the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals and other generals, since there are masters who are stronger than Sun Wukong among the ten generations of disciples, they should not be the opponents of the ten generations of disciples.
Therefore, in the case that Sanqing did not make a move, Heavenly Court sent troops to attack Fangcunshan, and it was likely that the winner would be the Fangcunshan Group. What do you think?
